Hello, Drive very convenient because the USB cable is included, although the cable is very short (~ 8 cm) in my case it is sufficient length to connect it to my laptop. NB. I have no problem to extend and retract the built-in cable. It is light, very silent rather aesthetic and has a very good transfer rates. The only negative is the black lacquer of the case ... just take it in hand for it to be instantly marked by the traces of fingers. Software is supplied with including "USB Boost" sensible significantly increase the transfer rate and backup software (not tested). For the price no complaints about this record that stands out from the others by its integrated USB and perfectly fulfills its functions. @ Marc +
